We ought to engage in thorough debate about the evidentiary standards we hold for public, noncriminally litigated instances of sexual misconduct. I believe that Ford’s testimony alone, unverified by witnesses, does not indict Kavanaugh by the preponderance of evidence. But I welcome debate. Those, on the left and the right, who shift their goalposts to avenge Roy Moore or Merrick Garland are sacrificing the potential for justice their daughters and granddaughters might seek someday.
